Martin Sexton - Silence Now lyrics

Silence, silence now Silence, silence now As you sit and read the paper Dozing off, you dim the light Put your gla**es on the table Sink into your easy chair Dream the dream you've always dreamed of You're a boy so free and wild In this dream you capture freedom And you're not your father's child People cheer and clap their hands Now you dream that you're a man Amidst applause and blissful noise You cannot hear your father's voice saying Silence, silence now Silence, silence now As you dream you're in the circus Ran away from home at ten Got yourself a painted pony Summersaults upon his back This is what you've always wanted Could this be the promise land Share a laugh with all the carnies Limelight and adoring fans People cheer and clap their hands Now you dream that you're a man Amidst applause and blissful noise You'll never hear your father's voice screaming Silence, silence now Silence, silence now As you sit and read your paper Dozing off you dim the light As you wake your dream is over Forget it all and say goodnight Goodnight
